Halloween Haunted Castle Event! Open to Everyone!
While she wasn't particularly keen on parties, she was set on saving wildlife. Everyone else seemed to rake in the galleons by throwing large events, no matter the scandals that erupted from them, so why couldn't they? Nora had conservatory's committee for quite some time now, and being the youngest by a good forty years, had devised this plan as a new and fresh way of funding. It helped greatly that she had friends that had access to some of the best party planners (or that she could twist Charlie Spinnet's ear until he helped her out), and things seemed to have turned out well. So far.

For the brave at heart, there was a grand maze that made its way throughout the haunted castle. Guests would be offered clues to get themselves to the ballroom, and if they were truly lost (as Nora was sure was to occur), for just a small donation (it's for charity), any money dropped into a clue box would light up a blue path down the correct route to lead the way out. With all the Gryffindors that Nora had put on the guest list, she was sure they were going to triple their goal.

There was a simpler route than the maze, which was simply to walk through the double doors to the dance floor. Nora was currently wavering between the two, having run out of pamphlets to give out at the front entrance therefore giving her no excuse to join the festivities. She felt rather exposed, as Delilah had stolen her cloak, and when someone tapped her shoulder she jumped nearly a foot in the air.

"Bloody hell!" she let out, spinning around. "You scared the life out of me!"

Tony!

Drea found herself waiting between the two routes, not sure if she should just enter or take her chances in the haunted castle maze. It wasn't as if she were terribly frightened by many things, but part of her just wanted to let loose and dance and have fun. She was needing a bit of play right now.

She was about to close her eyes, spin herself around, and just walk into the closest path when she spotted Tony making his way up the drive. She'd agreed to meet him at the dance, but she hadn't expected to arrive at the same time. They had to play things off casually, as much as it pained her to do so. But they'd danced at public events before, it wouldn't be so hard to believe that they were just spontaneously dancing together in the moment.

"Fancy seeing you here, Twinkle Toes," she said with a grin, taking in the sight of him.

"Why, if it isn't the sharpest seeker in the league!" he said loudly, boastfully. Tony's hand went to his chin before he pointed at Drea in a thoughtful manner, "Or should I say...the sharpest arrow?"

He laughed at his bad pun and rocked on his heels, having far too much fun with his suspenders. Being a halfblood, Tony had a bit of knowledge of muggle history, and the dance styles of the 1920s were some of his favorite. In Great Britain and across the pond, people were breaking away from chains and expressing themselves for what felt like the first time. What could be more fun? He'd jumped on the idea when Drea had suggested it, and it was quite easy to pass as a coincidence that they'd matched. Who would even think to notice?

Though, the fact that they'd practiced the Charleston to look amazing out on the floor, might draw some attention.

Tony performed some fancy footwork before stopping close enough to Drea to only been deemed slightly inappropriate. As much as he wanted to snog her beautiful face off, he did still find some thrill at keeping their relationship under the radar. Once the season was over, he'd make some decisions, but right now, his flirtatious and adventurous side was definitely winning this battle.

"How you feeling tonight?" he asked, chin up and eyes on Drea.

Drea felt a blush develop on her cheeks at his comment about her being the sharpest seeker in the league. She was about to comment on it when he ended up too close to her and she ended up having to stop herself from naturally filling the gap and--augh, tonight was going to feel like a game of cat and mouse, she had a feeling.

"I'm...managing. It would be wonderful to let loose of inhibitions, but the pesky media probably wouldn't approve of that," she explained coyly, reaching up to adjust his hat. "Past that? Wondering if I'd rather get right to the dancing, or experience a little fright before. And you?"

"Hmmm, I'd go with the fright."

Tony's toes were already tapping to the music he could hear from the ballroom, but how often did you get to go through a gigantic haunted maze and castle? Halloween was meant for frights and excitements, and while he was the most exciting person to ever set foot on the dance floor (could anyone really deny it?), Tony wanted to take full advantage of this night of festivities.

"Think about it," he said, stepping around Drea to walk backwards into the entrance of the maze. "Lots of dark corners to get lost in, I'm surely going to need someone's hand to hold."

He shrugged, tipping his hat at her. "But, if you'd rather go dance, I'd understand."

Drea followed him cautiously, a smile developing on her face. He had a good point. So long as they could find a decent dark corner to be scared senseless in, she wasn't going to complain.

"Have I ever shared with you that I'm completely and utterly terrified of the dark? And things that go bump in the night?" she asked as she picked up her pace, eventually matching his strides. "You may regret the offer of your hand to hold," she confided seriously.

The allure of dancing was exciting, but the thrill of secret and stolen moments was even moreso. Bring on the zombies and goblins and creepy crawlies!
